# Dew-Collecting Watering Pots This Smart Plant Watering Pot Makes Use of Morning Dew For Moisture By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-09-24 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-watering-pot References: [indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hydria-pot-earthcare-design) & [hydriapot](http://hydriapot.com) The Hydria plant watering pot is an [irrigation system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-irrigation) that uses [gravity and dew drops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raindrop-1) to provide moisture to plants. The pointed [clay pot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hemisphere) on the bottom of the Hydria Pot is designed to be planted into soil, mimicking the way plants naturally soak up moisture from the surrounding soil with their roots. Placed beside a young plant, the Hydria Pot will continue to keep it healthy without the need for any additional energy or human interference. The Hydria Pot was developed as a response to the rapid rate that mature trees are being cut down at, ensuring that new growths have a chance to grow into trees just as big someday. The Hydria Pot is now part of a campaign on [Indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hydria-pot-earthcare-design), aiming to raise a total of $31,000 for production and distribution. For each Hydria Pot backed through Indiegogo, a tree will be planted. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Smart Plant Watering:** The use of innovative systems like the Hydria Pot that utilize natural resources like dew drops for plant irrigation. - **Energy-efficient Irrigation:** Developing irrigation systems that require minimal energy or human interference, such as the gravity-based Hydria Pot. - **Environmental Sustainability in Gardening:** The promotion of eco-friendly gardening practices that contribute to reforestation efforts, like the Hydria Pot's tree-planting campaign. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Smart Home Technology:** The integration of smart plant watering systems into the growing market of smart home devices. - **Agriculture and Farming:** The application of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly irrigation systems in agricultural settings. - **Sustainable Gardening Products:** The development and production of eco-friendly gardening products that align with the principles of environmental sustainability, such as the Hydria Pot. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Self-Watering Smart Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-leafypod.md) - [Naturalistic Self-Watering Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apot-selfwatering-planter.md) - [Smart Self-Watering Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tendril-1.md) - [Low-Maintenance Soil-Free Plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dew-plants.md) - [Self-Watering Desk Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/posha.md) - [Spherical Self-Watering Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-basil-selfwatering-globe.md) - [Uniquely Shaped Self-Watering Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/self-watering-plant-house.md) - [Self-Watering Plant Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivo-pot.md) - [Self-Watering Compact Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patella-crescenda.md)
